PEEK 450
GEHR PEEK 450®
GEHR PEEK 450® ist a high-performance plastics made of VICTREX PEEK 450G™. It is a high-performance PEEK polymer produced by Victrex, and is often used as a replacement for metals due to its extensive properties such as high-temperature and chemical resistance, as well as mechanical strength. It is used globally for injection molding and extrusion, is FDA-compliant for food contact, and can be supplemented by other PEEK-based products depending on requirements.
Polyetheretherketone can be used at very high temperatures (about +260 °C) and it shows an extraordinary mechanical strength, toughness, hardness, flexural strength, torsional strength. PEEK exhibits excellent chemical resistance, very good dielectric properties up to +260 °C and a very good resistance to all kinds of radiation (even ultraviolet rays only lead to a slight yellow discolouration). PEEK is self-extinguishing properties according to UL 94.
